"For many kids math provokes an allergic reaction. ....To me, math is all about problem solving, reasoning, using intuition, and making connections. It's not about memorizing formulas. The world is mathematical. I am excited to see so much innovation in the teaching of math. I believe every student deserves to be a math hero. And I believe every student has the potential."Sebastian Thrun, Google VP, Educator, Programmer, Robotics Developer, Computer Scientist

Most students enter school confident in their own abilities; they are curious and eager to learn more. They make sense of the world by reasoning and problem solving. Young students are active, resourceful individuals who construct, modify, and integrate ideas by interacting with the physical world as well as with peers and adults. They learn by doing, collaborating, and sharing their ideas.
